Michael Moore is smart and courageous
I really need to see Sicko. I know it's good. It always takes me a little while to see his films. It's like I have to emotionally gear up for them. And I always finish watching his film feeling satisfied. I feel like there's someone out there who not only agrees with me, but who's got the gumption to be vocal about his beliefs. My friends and I are passive. It's hard making change. It's just so daunting, so massive. Thank you, Michael Moore for having the courage to do what so many of us won't.
That’s my dad!
So my dad's on YouTube. He's in his 70s and has more joie de vivre in his little pinkie than most people half his age have in their whole bodies. He's a semi-retired conductor who believes passionately in this new form of exercise he created called Conductorcise. Have a look. It's brilliant!

Left-handers screwed again!
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A study suggests that women who are left-handed have a higher risk of dying, particularly from cancer and cerebrovascular disease - damage to an artery in the brain or an artery that supplies blood to the brain.
While it could be a chance finding and the evidence is far from conclusive, numerous reports have associated left-handedness with various disorders and, in general, a shorter life span, Dutch researchers note in their report in the journal Epidemiology.
